Almost two weeks late I finally remember to write a review!

The story itself was a great time, and very clearly written as an anniversary story. Lots of fanservice, silly jokes and fun moments!

But the actual live experience is what made this go from a solid 4/5 to a 5/5. Seeing Nick Briggs do the Daleks live was a magical experience. Hearing the crowd laugh at all the same jokes I laughed at. A couple jokes that were references to very obscure things that only a handful of us (myself included, ain't I so cool???) laughed at.

I had a seat perfectly in the middle of my row in the stalls, which meant I got a perfect view of one of my favourite Doctors front and centre, and Paul McGann really was a delight! You can tell he loved the script, as he often was smiling at scenes he wasn't even in. Every performance was great across the board but he really stole the show as always.

India Fisher returning to Charley pre-DU arc was so lovely! I forgot how great a character she was before she was bogged down by all the angst and romance and misogynistic writers of the DU era. And I love that the pseudo companion was just a little too enthusiastic for Charley consistently.

Being there for the return of my 3rd favourite Master after many years, and seeing him perform live was incredible. Macqueen has always clearly just had fun playing the villain and you could really see it here. Everyone cheered when he said THE line. Absolutely camp and menacing, he's such a delight!

The set was so gorgeous, and hearing the foley live and seeing how they did it was so fun too!

Overall, just an incredible experience I don't see myself ever forgetting about.
